Why did Asmongold stop playing FF14 if FF14 is so good with a good community?

There is a little bit of truth to what you say ofc, i met my fair share of toxic people in the community too. So yeah, XIV has also some very toxic and questionable people in it.

The problem with Asmongold tho is that he attracts exactly those people since that is also what his bubble of followers is made out of. You don't see that problem with any other streamer really which had all a great experience. Cause they don't attract the toxic knuckleheads of the internet.

Another point is that his success and his persona is build on attracting that kind of people, from his own bubble and ofc from others. So idk why people here wonder why he stopped. He actually played the game much longer than most people know, on his alt stream where he is just off persona. So the answer to the question of "why he stopped" is very simple, it's just not profitable. It's always really funny to see people wondering about why a streamer stopped with a certain thing with their on persona streams, the answer is in 99% of all cases money and views. You need to keep in mind that they are a business in the end not a "real" person. They have to make money with what they do.

i dont really see any difference between his audience and say Preach's audience, besides Zack's audience is generally 2000%ish larger, but i waill say both have played many more games than just ffxiv, and generally speaking they dont run in to these problems quite the same, yeah its happened, but never with entire discords and reddit threads made to stalk him and plan to grief..

the community, these forums were plagued with what if senerio horror stories of how he would ruin the game before he ever logged in, they gaslighted the "inclusion" side of the community in to thinking he was the problem, that he would take away their precious safe space, when it was them that became the problem, so afraid he might gate keep, they became the gate keepers, and were a ok breaking their precious ToS if it meant they could get rid of him.

this isnt a good community, its just full of people afraid to speak because a sub group of the community has enough sway to mass flag any that dare have a voice they didn't give them.
